Marion Jones

She now becomes the third fastest 200 meter sprinter of all time, only behind Florence Griffith-Joyner with her world record of 21.34, as well as Sharika Jackson with her time of 21.41. Melissa's previous best was 21.68 seconds from the Tokyo World Champs last year.

She now jumps ahead of names like Merlene Addy, Daphne Shippers, Elaine Thompson-Hira, Gabby Thomas, Julian Alfred, Marion Jones.

Melissa Jefferson would have made some serious history with this 200.

Gabby Thomas coming in for second place, 21.77.

Moving over, women's 400 meter hurdles.

Also a very special race, but a little bit of an upset.

Jasmine Jones, 42.45 seconds to win and really upset the favorites of Emma Zapotalova, as well as Anna Cockrell, who had been kind of battling it out all throughout the year.

Jasmine Jones ran a very, very measured race.

did start to wonder, like...

Just the way that like in Marion Jones's case, doping is an unfair advantage in modeling is getting your face reconstructed an unfair advantage.

It's a great

question.

I mean, I think he ruined Olympic sports, frankly.

People have not watched the Olympics since then, right? I mean, Marion Jones, Tim Montgomery.

What do you mean people haven't

watched

What do you have to believe? But here was the other thing about not against the rules.

Barry Bonds is breaking the all-time home run record at the exact same time that Marion Jones is giving back her gold medals in a pool of her own tears.

So what is the standard? And again, to me, it felt like obvious hypocrisy.

And Major League Baseball would itself put in very strict rules just a couple of years later and say no more.

And there was a few athletes in Sydney that got police escorts.

Marion Jones being one.

Possibly the only other one, I think.

But anyway, she got a – Freeman was big and she got a police – two quite senior New South Wales – I think they were New South Wales police people were – To look after her.

James was super young when we went.

And who was there but Marion Jones.

And I spent so much time in the 2000 through 2004 era trying to track down Marion Jones just to see her playing with her kids.

And I was just like,

you and me.

Lying bitch.

This week we're talking about Marion Jones.

You wanna know if I'll survive.

Get along okay without you.

We're not bad people.

Our hearts are in the right place, and together we can try to get to the bottom of what has been said about these women over time.

So on to Marion Jones.

Marion Jones.

It actually has to do with sports.

There's a Olympic runner, Marion Jones.

She won gold medals.

She did all these good things.
